about

The song is based upon two stages of contrast and conflict. The first stage is represented in the first half instrumental that alternates a groovy and bass-centric primary theme with two sections of Zappa-esque opposition. The next stage occurs in the second half with the timbral and dynamic shift that introduces Gigi Macabre's plaintive vocals and nihilistic musings on the futility of existence.

lyrics

Unstoppable force
Meets immovable object
And who am I to argue
The more things change
The more they stay the same

But the story never dies
The story never dies
The story never dies
Unless we bury it alive
No, the story never dies
The story never dies
The story never dies
Unless we bury it alive
The story never dies
The story never dies
The story never dies
Unless we bury it
Bury it alive

Nraakors Iowa City, Iowa

Nraakors is the brainchild of James Kasper, Joseph Norman, and Gigi Macabre. Their music includes aspects of grunge, prog, noise rock, thrash metal, jazz fusion, folk, neoclassical, and free improv.
